“Jeffrey Becom’s photographs are more brilliantly poised between abstraction and realism than any others I have ever seen. His work has two missions: the documentation of a disappearing architectural culture and the creation of beautiful works of art. He is not the first to combine these often contradictory goals, but he does it more freshly, more carefully, and finally, more joyfully than any photographer in our time. Becom takes a tiny swath of the vernacular landscape and makes of it a composition with the brilliance and intensity of an abstract painting.”
